2018 is going to be a pivotal year for all of us. Here are five resolutions will make 2018 your best year ever.

1. Do It Now

All of us suffer from procrastination to a greater or lesser degree. There are entire books written on how to overcome it. But you already know how to fix procrastination. There is no “method.” The way is to adopt the motto, “Do It Now.”

If you have a task that you can complete in a few minutes, don’t even bother to write it down. Just do it now. Take care of it immediately. In this case, planning and writing “to do” lists become a form of procrastination.

For longer term tasks, write them down but use the same vicious approach in tackling them. Start with the most important task first, and Do It Now.

Sometimes there are no psychological tricks to make the work get done. In this case the only secret is getting started on doing the hard work. Knowing this is liberating because you know you have no excuses.

I’m proud to announce the first episode of The Michael Sebastian Podcast. And for this first episode, I have a fantastic guest: Ivan Throne, the author of The Nine Laws.

In this interview, Ivan discusses the dangers and the opportunities that will present themselves in the next few volatile years. We also discuss the urgent need for men to become anti-fragile, including how to begin the process of becoming financially independent. Ivan is a great teacher and I learned a lot from this interview. I am sure you will agree. Give it a listen.

You can learn more about Ivan by reading his website Dark Triad Man or by reading his book, The Nine Laws. Also, Ivan is offering training for men who want to develop Sacred Purpose, which we discuss in the podcast, this January at the Immersion Forge.

In the manosphere and right wing circles, there is strong agreement that society as it is currently situated is unhealthy. Conservatives believe that the fix is easy—the answer is just less government spending. But we know that the problems run much deeper than that. Do we have the courage to make the following necessary changes? [Read more…] about 4 Steps We Must Take To Fix Society

Growing up, we are taught that we live in a safe, friendly world. We are taught that:

The government protects us from the bad guys.

Our elected representatives try to do what is best for their voters. You can believe your congressman when he says he is pro-life.

You priest or pastor is a holy man.

As long as we work hard, you’ll get ahead in life and you’ll never have to worry.

Everything will be just great. And as long as we behave, the good times will go on forever.

Unfortunately, none of these is necessarily true. The failure to realize this can result in your life being ruined, or even your death. We live in the dark world. It is only when you realize this that you can take the necessary steps to achieve success and protect yourself from failure.
